[ROOT] Rooting the Moto E - Moto E Android Development

Flash TWRP From here
Flash Chainfire's SuperSu updater from here
If you don't want to flash the recovery, then you can do these commands instead
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
This will preserve the original recovery, and root your system

Would this unlock the bootloader?

ohai hecatae
and yes this is for rooting. you need an unlocked bootloader to do this. I thought that would be clear..

Old root method
This is purely for historical records
Note: This method is long winded, and could result in no more booting if done incorrectly
This method will be replaced with a cleaner, faster method, and is only here as a reference for people who can't wait, or to see how it was initially done
Note:
I am not supplying any links to the tools I used (excluding make_ext4fs). This is because this is not a guide for the faint hearted, and if you don't know how to locate the tools yourself, you shouldn't be here.
This is only for Linux.
required:
The Phone
A USB Cable for the Phone
ADB
Fastboot
make_ext4fs (remove .zip off the end)
SuperSU update pack
make a working directory
Code:
WORK_DIR="~/moto_e_hacking"
cd $WORK_DIR
Fetch the system contents from the phone
Code:
adb pull /system system/
apply the SuperSU pack to the fetched system
for reference, follow the update-binary contents
You need to apply all the permissions the same way the update binary does as well
create a system.img
Code:
./make_ext4fs -a system system.img system/ -l 800M
flash the system image
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
sudo fastboot flash system system.img
This should take a few minutes. Ignore the sparse warning.
once this is done, reboot the phone. You should now have root
I'm currently building a recovery, so once that is done, we can just flash the update package.

Successfully Rooted! No issues at all.

Just take a backup of stock ROM

If you first unlock your bootloader, then flash the TWRP recovery image in the original post of this thread, and then flash the SuperSU.zip included in the original post, in that order then you will have root access. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

This one is easiest and safest and reliable way to root with locked bootloader. And you know what it works with unlocked bootloader too.
Follow each step very carefully.

And yeah strictly follow these settings:
1.Security > Unknown Sources(tick) and Verify Apps(untick)
2.USB debugging (tick)
Because when unkown sources is not ticked the SuperSU app is not pushed through ADB

Easily Root Micromax Canvas 2.2 A114 using PC.

Here's a 100% working method of rooting Micromax Canvas A114. I bought this phone today and after a few hit & trials found out that this is the only method to root this amazing device. Framaroot, Binary Tools and SRS Root did not work. This method is not as quick as Framaroot and it requires a PC but it's quite simple.
All you have to do is download the 2 files from these links:
1. http://d-h.st/okL
2. http://d-h.st/jll
and install them on your PC. Then turn on the USB Debugging option in your phone and connect it to the PC. Make sure that no other phone is connected to your computer. Then run Root Genius on your pc, it will automatically identify your phone. Then just follow the on screen instructions. Click on Restore Data on the phone if prompted during the rooting process. After 100% rooting procedure is complete, you'll find KingUser app in your app drawer. Then reboot your phone (not necessary but recommended). Your phone is now rooted. Enjoy.
The process usually takes about 10-15 minutes & restarts your phone multiple number of times , so there's no need to panic.
Disclaimer : Me or XDA is not responsible if anything goes wrong with your device or if your device turns into Britney Spears.

Plz don't quote the main post. You are posting a reply that itself implies that you are replying to the main post, so there's no need to quote it. It takes necessary bandwidth for those users who are on 2G.
There's an option to unroot it in the KingUser app. On a safer side you can always take titanium backup of all the data and format the phone before handing it to the service center coz they will format it anyways. (BTW I don't think the Micromax service center guys even know what root is, I got all my services done while using custom roms in my Canvas 2)

I haven't tried it yet coz 1) There is no custom rom as of now 2) Mobile Uncle Tools is not yet compatible with MTK 6582.
